Laos · PAK OU CAVES BOAT TRIPS
9 reviewed
Two hours up the Mekong, two caves in a cliff face, and several thousand Buddha images left there over four centuries. These are the best Pak Ou boat trips: slow boat or speedboat, whether the whisky village at Ban Xang Hai is included, how long you get inside the upper cave, and what the return run downriver adds to the day.

“Our guide and driver were very kind. Boat trip is only for the Pak Au Caves visit. Kuang Si waterfalls are so blue and amazing to swim in! Our guide always kept and eye on us and contuniously checked in with each guest. Lunch was at Manifa Elephant Camp and so delicious. We also get to feed a free walking (not chained) elephant”

Kayak Luang Prabang countryside to Pak Ou Caves, then paddle the Mekong and swim at Kuang Si Falls, with a riverside buffet lunch.
“The kayak excursion was the perfect amount of time on the water - about two hours. The route was on both the Ou and Mekong Rivers, which was fun to see the difference in water clarity and currents. We were able to visit the cave temples and then also capped our afternoon with the sunset cruise down to Luang Prabang town.”
